If they can do a printout with a Hunter laser machine then you're golden. If they can't, well, I'd stick to the dealer. I took mine to the dealer...

alright, got my alignment, with print out and everything.

I went to Les Schwab, cost me about $80. and everything was good except the steering was a little off, and right rear camber was right on the edge (-1.9 degree).

So got it all fixed, and feel more at ease now.

you got an alignment for 80? Thats cheap seeing that to align a BMW correctly well at least for my e36 I was told there has to be 500 pounds in the car. Im getting it done next week for $120 ish.

My rear camber is messed up too...

... and from what i read, i guess it is just a matter of bringing my car to a shop and have them align it.

The thing is, i did this already, (brought it to El's Tire in Glasgow, DE) and i explicitly told them to see if they can fix the rear camber, (while doing the alignment) and they didn't, and when i asked the mechanic what may be causing the camber, he said i needed new springs. So i got a set of H&R OE springs, (0.5" rear, 1.0" front) and nothing changed. the front got lowered, but the rear was still F-ed.

So from reading this post i guess what i am going to do is bring my BMW to a more competent shop to have the rear camber adjusted.

thank you United Bimmer!

This is my car before the H&R springs. You can see how the rear is cambered out.

I just lowered my e36 and the front camber is sightly off while the back looks okay. I think this bolt could do the trick for me, at least its worth a try. Can you buy this bolt somewhere, or do you have to customize it? thanks
